Only recently discovered, Rainbow Mountain has become one of the main attractions to visit in Peru for all travellers and locals.

Great tour! Really early in the morning, however, but our tour guides Angel and Andy made it bearable to be awake that early. They provided breakfast and lunch which was super yummy! Lunch was one of my favorite parts. Then, they got us on the mountain early. Hiking at the altitude of Rainbow Mountain was quite hard, but felt great to successfully complete it. Take it slow and breathe!

A very spectacular hike! The hike up is tough, but the views are so rewarding! We left early in the morning to avoid crowds and it was definitely worth it. When we left the queues to take pictures were already very long. Our guides took very good care of us, made sure we are well and gave lots of additional information.

3:00am departure makes for an early morning but I would agree with the tour company that this is the best time to go. There are no limitations as to how many visitors a day can visit and it was getting very busy in the afternoon as we were leaving.
It was a harrowing drive up the mountain but the driver was very good and attentive as I watched him closely.
Breakfast and lunch were included and I had low expectations due to the low price point of this tour but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of both breakfast and lunch.
Our guides were excellent. They were prepared for emergencies and accommodated the group regardless of their pace. We chose to go to the Red Valley after and Roxi was waiting for us at the check point after our hike. Also, Roxi took many great pictures of my family and I…thanks Roxi!!
Considering the low price point and the value received I would recommend the tour.

Fantastic experience with Rainbow Mountain Travels, our guides Nestor and Carlos were great and made sure everybody could achieve the challenge of reaching the summit. The 3am start is worth it to avoid the crowds and the buffet style breakfast and lunch were good, just be aware that drinks are not included.

Our day trip to Rainbow Mountain was well organized and very fun! Nestor picked us up bright and early, and provided blankets in the van so we could continue sleeping at 3:00 AM (this was so nice!) Nestor ensured we made it up the mountain safely, and provided a great history of the mountain at the top. Nestor is the best, and would recommend him as a guide to anyone! Thank you for a fun day!

Pick up was convenient, at 3am.
Drop off was at a plaza instead of at the lodging, which given the long day was not optimal.
Road is very windy. Make sure you take anti-nausea medication if you are at all prone to motion sickness
Food does not include soft drink and water but there are no signs posted to that effect, they come around and collect payment.
You will pay to go to the bathroom everywhere except the restaurant, keep 5-10 Peruvian sole coins on you for that.
Our guide was helpful and monitored for altitude sickness.
Drive time is 3hrs one way from Cusco, which gives you time to sleep for an early morning start.
Hike will take the wind out of you if you are not used to that elevation.
Location is beautiful.

As a solo travelled, I highly recommend rainbow mountain travel. Safe, clean transportation to and from the mountain. 2 buffet styled meals, and most importantly Jakelin was so kind and helpful to those that were feeling ill!

Had an amazing experience there. The driver and the guide were awesome and the main factor was that we were the first group at the mountain.

Waking up at 2:00 to get there before the crowds arriving as we left was SO WORTHY. The stops for the food (breakfast and lunch) were really good. A premium compared to many others. Erika and Alvaro our guides have us a memorable experience and took time to share plenty on the area.

It is worth it to wake up before 3am and take this tour since there were only two buses there when we came, and later more then 50. Amazing guides Yakelin and Alvaro. We really enjoyed
